- Lot Description
Lot of 5 cabinet cards, featuring an impressive stunt view of Syrian dancer, Marie Bayrooty, holding a chair upside down with her mouth, having an American flag extended from one hand and a star and crescent flag extended from the other. She is wearing a feathered hat and a wide-skirted dress. With "Marie Bayrooty" and "8" printed in the negative. Credited on mount to Obermüller and Son, NY.

Jenks, Newport, VT; two young men holding large pipes, one in a head-to-toe stars-and-stripes outfit, and the other in tights, a decorative sash, and feathered hat, by G.W.
